my laptop is dead (no longer charges...used to work if the ac cord was fiddled with a lot, but now that doesn't even work) and so i am getting a new laptop that should come monday but i want to see if i can get my music off the dead one somehow. please help me!

All you need to do is remove the hard drive from the dead laptop, place it in the caddy, then connect it to the USB port of the new laptop. You can then copy across anything you want from the old drive to the new one

I have the same problem. My old laptop is dead. I want to copy the data from the old hard drive
(Seagate Momentus 4200.2 100GB Ultra ATA 44 pin) to my new laptop. The web site above is out of stock. Any retail store or other web site where I can find something that would work?
Thanks.
